Hello from Waterloo, ON
I started wet shaving again about 2 years ago, mostly just on weekends. After a some tweaking my kit consists of the following:
Merkur 38C, Barber-Pole Handle, Safety Razor in Matte Chrome
Feather Double-Edge Safety Razor Blades
Edwin Jagger Best Badger Shaving Brush
Proraso Pre-Shave Cream
Geo. F. Trumper Sandalwood shaving soap
MÜHLE porcelain shaving mug
The Art of Shaving Sandalwood After-Shave Balm
I'd given up on straight razor shaving after a bad experience with a Dovo Shavette, but I'm now awaiting delivery of a "site unseen" straight razor from Whipped Dog so I can start practising with a "real" razor.

Welcome to SRP. I did a hack job on myself with a shavette as well. Im sure you will like shaving with a real Str8 , Just take your time.

Thanked: 2284Waterloo eh. Just down the road from you in Baden. I actually started with a parker shavette. When I finally got a real straight, the shave was way better. Maybe I'll see you around.
